I Think Summer Has Sprung!! May 27th, 2009

What a beautiful Memorial Day week-end we had! The weather was perfect for camping (even if I was only in on it for one night and day :). I know the boy's had a great time at Antelope Resevoir scouting, fishing and hiking. When I got there Sunday night, Stan had a great concoction brewing over the campfire in his Dutch oven....pork ribs with a sauce he made with pineapple...the meat fell your fork, it was soooo good! I saw a turkey when I was driving in, so Seth and Griffin and I went to look for it (Griffin has a turkey tag)....but to no avail...just a little hiking, and I spotted a herd of deer, which we tracked down. Stan and I hiked around the resevoir Sunday while he did some fishing after the boys left and headed back to school. As for the rest of the week-end, I was here at the store working, then home and got some scrapbooking done! I'm in love all over again with my Silhouette, now that it's all fixed...the tree, leaves and text background for the photo are all cut from it. And I also finally figured out how I can use some of the cool digital elements that so many talented people have created on my layouts and still me a 'paper' scrapper....the the 'I Miss You' layout I used text blocks I think by Sandy Krieger (I'm going to have to figure out how to keep better track of the creators). It was fun sitting down and starting and finishing a layout in one single night...rather than letting it drag on for days :) Getting ready to go have a glass of wine with my sis, then home and hopefully Stan hasn't seriously injured himself in softball....last week he came home with a pretty bad shoulder..I'm not so sure it's any better.....men, stubborn about their injuries :)

I need to get the family camping this summer. It has been too long again. Sounds like you all had a good time!

The layouts are lovely.
